[kwlug-disc] CACert.org trust it or don't? And why doesn't Ubuntu?

[Colin K]

I have a vague feeling that the SSL from cacert will be greenbar if you
pass your challenges.  Or whatever they call it.

I will look into that other SSL stuff though. 18$ for a basic cert doesn't
seem like a huge ding.

But if cacert god added to Ubuntu or mint that would be a big step
forward.
